Expression of interest procedure "Promotion of municipal care policy measures – local care in the city of Frankfurt (Oder)" begins

The state government is continuing the "Pact for Care" until June 30, 2027, which consists of various pillars: Expansion of care advice, expansion of the care provision structure and securing skilled workers. The pact aims to strengthen and sustainably shape local care, provide relief for those in need of care and their relatives, particularly in rural areas, expand advisory structures and promote the recruitment of skilled workers in the care sector through attractive training and employment conditions.

The aim is to enable people in the state of Brandenburg to lead as self-determined a life as possible into old age and participate in society, even if they are in need of care, by providing a wide range of flexible services and assistance. The Pact for Care aims to improve the conditions for this and expand existing structures. People in need of care and their relatives are to be accompanied, supported and relieved in coping with this.

The "Local Care" funding program in Frankfurt (Oder) will initially support local care policy measures to strengthen local care from 1 January to 31 December 2026.

The aim is to delay or minimize the onset of the need for care by designing social spaces that are suitable for ageing and care, and to enable people to cope with the need for care in their own home.

The Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Integration and Consumer Protection provides the city of Frankfurt (Oder) with 137,350 euros annually to implement projects with the aim of developing assistance and measures in the run-up to and surrounding areas of care.

Written applications or expressions of interest must be submitted by Friday. Expressions of interest should be sent by post to the Office for Youth and Social Affairs, Social Planning, attn. Eileen Schuflitz, Logenstraße 8, 15230 Frankfurt (Oder) or in advance by e-mail to eileen.schuflitz@frankfurt-oder.de by Friday, October 10, 2025.
